Tom brady Troll Raiders Fans
Tom brady Troll Raiders Fans, It has been almost 13 years, but Tom Brady doesn't mind turning back the clock to troll the fans of the team he is facing on Sunday.
Brady posted a picture on Facebook of him spiking the ball after his touchdown run in the playoffs following the 2001 season against the Oakland Raiders, a game that would become known in NFL circles as "The Tuck Rule Game." (It should be noted, too, that Brady also fell over after this spike, losing his balance on the snow-covered field.)
For those who do not remember, Brady and the Patriots appeared doomed in that game when Charles Woodson (Brady's college teammate at Michigan) blitzed and knocked the ball free from him, which the Raiders recovered. But a little-known rule, later renamed the "Tuck Rule" because of this game, allowed the Patriots to keep the ball because Brady's arm was going forward in a throwing motion.The Patriots won the game in overtime. It has stood as one of the most controversial calls in NFL history.
Brady's tagline on the photo: "Tomorrow is my 6th time playing the Raiders. What's your favorite Patriots vs Raiders memory? I know mine ..."
We looked through the stats, and it's possible we've missed a game somewhere along the way, but it appears that Brady only has played the Raiders four times previously — three in the regular season, plus that one playoff game that just so happened to be the first of his 26 postseason contests. Brady has a 3-1 record in those games and has never thrown an interception.
Got to admit, this new side of Brady has us intrigued. Typically, he offers very little in the way of bulletin-board material for opponents, but this is a straight-up shot across the bow of a team that comes into Foxboro as a more than two-touchdown underdog Sunday.
